What are the early signs of esophageal cancer?

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor. It mostly occurs in men over 50 years old, more common in the north than in the south. Clinical manifestations: discomfort when swallowing food in the early stage, a feeling of food stagnation and choking in the esophagus. So what are the early symptoms of esophageal cancer?

The esophagus is a passage for transporting food, and its cancer symptoms only occur when food passes through the esophagus. In normal life, people generally do not pay attention to the process of food passing through the esophagus.

Although there are no symptoms in the early stages of esophageal cancer, they will gradually become apparent as the cancer spreads, such as stinging pain when swallowing and a feeling of retention.

What needs to be noted here is the feeling of retention. Although the esophagus allows liquid to flow through, it is difficult for solids to pass through. As the cancer spreads, the inner diameter of the esophagus gradually begins to narrow. At this time, even if you chew slowly, you will still feel a sense of retention, and sometimes even vomit. It is worth noting that not all feelings of retention are caused by esophageal cancer. Sometimes it is not ruled out that it is caused by other diseases.

When cancer infiltrates into the tissues around the esophagus, such as the lungs, trachea, thoracic vertebrae, etc., symptoms such as chest pain, hoarseness, cough, bloody sputum, and difficulty breathing may also appear.

The above are the early symptoms of esophageal cancer.
